The Sultan's Mother.

The person that has perhaps the most
influence In the seraglio is the mother Of
the sultan. This proves the extreme ven
Grafton in which Turks hold their parents.
The father of sultan can never be living,
for If he is alive his son will not he sultan.
But nothing prevents the mother from
still being of Gllis world when her son
ascends the throne. Woe to the people if
this woman is wicked, greedy and capri
cious, for often she does everything with
out being responsible for anything. The
sultan himself is afraid to disobey his
mother. Moreover, she is usually the
source Of all disgraces and all favors. and
the supreme art of the ambitious is to get
acquainted with her and to obtain her
good viii by the intervention of other
women that hEve the right and the oppor-
tunity to app1Sach her.
Concealed pehind her son, she makes
and unnlakes grand viziers, ministers,
walls or provincial governors. She is the
invisible thread that eleyates or lowers,
tho mysterious roulette that enriches or
ruins. Then, rs she is most frequently
ignorant, inexperienced and narrow, it is
always best for the state that the sultans
be orphans entirely when fortune seats
them upon the throne The Cosmopol-
itan.

with 5000 Pictorial Illustrations, then,
after interval of afew years, Biograph

and Supplement Of nearly 5000 New

a new and most valuable addition, A

Statistics compiled by the Well-Fargo
Express Company show that in tho
great mining region west of the Missis-
sippi the production of precious metals
enjoyed period of marked growth In
1886. The yield of silver, not counting
the receipts from Mexico, was $52, 1885,

the best preceding year. The gain
over 1885 was s., $40. 252, or about II
per cent. These figures, it should be
borne in mind, are in values measured
by the gold standard. and the increase
in the weight of bullion was proper
tionately much greater. the price of
silver having been unprecedentedly
low last year. As compared with the
average annual production of the last
fifteen years, 1886 shows a gain of
about SIC, GOO. 900. or ID per cent, speak
ing roughly.
Last year showed n handsome gain
also in the production of gold over tho
three just preceding, but in the long
run the yield of this metal in the United
States is gradually decreasing. 1s
gradually rose i'll the region west of the
Mississippi from $}3, 10000 in 1870 to
$44, $4,000 In 1877, and then fell
steadily to S.. lS3. 567 in 1884. In 1885
it rose to $26, 1898, 756, and last year
there was further advance to $29.-
sci ,424, the increase over the previous
year having been $3,167 ,66S, or about
II per cent, In gold, as well as in
silver, the prospects of the present
year are encouraging, and, even with
out the possible discovery of new min
ing districts, there may be another
handsome gain. 1t is certain that the
resources of the United States in this
metal have not yet been very
thoroughly tested or approached ex-
